Safer Stronger Community Group - lorry update

At Wednesday's Safer Stronger Community Group, there was an update on the problems of lorries on the country roads around Yate. Following a meeting with local councillors in December, it's been agreed to alter the allowed routes for Morrisons' lorries, so rather than being forced to use Latteridge Road or the A432 out through Old Sodbury, they will now also be allowed to use Wotton Road and the A432 through Coalpit Heath. A letter will be sent to the Owner and Operator of the Depot in the next week to inform them of the change.

Schemes for two 30mph sections along the Latteridge Road (Iron Action By-Pass to Crossing Cottage, and, Latteridge Village to Earthcott) will be included as Executive Member schemes in the 2011/12 draft capital programme and subject to normal consultation.

Once the change has been made, there will be further monitoring to see if additional speed limit changes or crossing points are needed.

Other issues discussed at the meeting included parking on pavements, outside Homestead Garage in Westerleigh and in Coalpit Heath. The Safer Stronger Community Group has its own webpage where among other things you can sign up to the group to be updated with information.
